Sydney Harbour Bridge, Lunar Lanterns, Dragon

Lunar Lanterns have been installed around the city to celebrate the 20th anniversary of City of Sydney’s Chinese New Year Festival. In the Chinese zodiac, every year is symbolised by an animal and this year is the Year of the Monkey. This Dragon lantern, created by artist Fan Dongwang is located in Hickson Road Reserve with a backdrop of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Dragon is a symbol of good fortune and a sign of intense power, representing China’s emerging cultural identity.
